Years later, she mentioned going to see the Beatles......
But her memories don't seem to jibe with that footage. Of course, maybe she already ditched the sign....
Did you know I can take part in the Kevin Bacon game because of Meryl Streep? Along with a lot of other UConn Drama students back in the mid 1970's, I was an extra in a TV movie she did called "The Deadliest Season". (The original title was better - "Penalty Killer".)
She played Michael Moriarty's wife. If you ever get the chance to see it, I show up in nine pretty good close-ups in the first half hour at various hockey games. After that, it's mostly courtroom and domestic scenes.
But she then appeared in "River Wild" with Kevin Bacon, so I can make that connection in two moves.
BCnU!

That's cool, Toby! Was this ever released on dvd? I enjoy sports-related films but have only seen a few. And since this was a tv-movie, it does count for the Toobverse!

Not yet. Years past, it used to show up on some local NY channel around the time of the Stanley Cup playoffs, but I haven't seen it listed lately. Can't even find it on bit torrents.
But if it does, I'm buying it. Of course, I keep saying that about "Firehouse" in which I played the brother of one of the leads and had one good, line-less close-up, but never have.....
Firehouse? Hmm, something else I haven't heard of. Could that character be related to the one in the Streep film?
As much as I love teevee, especially before about 2000, there's still lots to learn! :)
